It's been about a year since I did a status report of what's going on in
the openSUSE:Tumbleweed repo, let me know if you find this actually
useful or not so that I can determine if I should keep it up.

As everyone knows, Tumbleweed is running on top of openSUSE:12.1, the
transition to 12.1 was rocky for some people who thought that
Tumbleweed was somehow a "full" distro, and not just an add-on on top
of a stable openSUSE release. To make things easier for future
updates of the base openSUSE release, please point to the "current"
repo, not the explicitly numbers repo. For more details how to do
this, see the Tumbleweed wiki page.

kernel 3.3.0 is in Tumbleweed, and seems to be working well so far.

KDE 4.8 is now in Tumbleweed, be careful if you previously had added
the KDE repo manually to your system, you should now remove it as I
have no idea how well it will interact with this.

Because of the KDE 4.8 update, LibreOffice was dropped from
Tumbleweed. This is due to build issues with the package, not any
runtime issue that I can determine. LibreOffice fails to build on
Factory at the moment as well, and a bug is open about this, hopefully
it gets resolved soon.

XFCE has been updated in Tumbleweed to the latest version

vim finally showed up, after a brief breakage that I caused, sorry
about that, all should be good now.

To preempt any questions about a GNOME update in Tumbleweed, I am
looking into it, but it will not happen until it stabilizes in Factory
first.

As always, if anyone knows of any packages they wish to see added to
Tumbleweed, please let me know.
